    Keeping a hold of your HD...

    Hello HD owners,

    I've been told that Harleys are a very sought after model by those who prefer not to pay for them.

    Present / former owners can you please tell me your various opinions / secrets at keeping the thieving dogs at bay apart from the usual "get a big, viscious dog" method?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not living in the crime capital of NZ would be a good start!!

    I keep mine in the gargre and if I'm going to be away for a few days I might lock it up, - play 'em as you see 'em, maybe where you live it may take more than that to keep your scoot safe.

    If I lived near a prison or similar I would have the gargre alarmed and the bike shackled to the ground plus put it in the most awkward place in the gargre of course it goes without saying that you wouldn't leave it out at the front of the house or on front of the gargre window for all to see!!

    P.S., I wonder if gang members get given shit for riding a Hogley?? :confused2

    I keep mine at the back of my garage,its chained up with my car parked infront of it.The Garage is Alarmed and the neighbours are always home.If they want it they'll have to drag it over the car to get it out.Ultimately you never know but thats why we also have bloody expensive insurance.

    I am paranoid about where I park it and as Scumdog said I dont leave it in the driveway for "windowshoppers" to see,

    Get rid of the f'n thing. Better of investing the money and keeping the other bike
    servicable with the interest you earn. Btw I know a guy who had his brand new VFR800 secured like your HD. Guess what?-IT GOT FLOGGED. Lifes far to short to worry over a HD

    BTW Jim2 sorry 'bout poor bike. Maybe time to go naked?
